Iggy Azalea News

This week, Future's&nbsp;DS2&nbsp;dominated the conversation, but there was plenty more going on around the hip hopsphere. Meek Mill's DWMTM&nbsp;maintained its top spot on the Hot 100, Drake shared a bonkers "Energy" video, and&nbsp;OG Maco claimed that Future was "ruining lives" with his music. On a more serious note, GLo Gang rapper Capo was tragically shot down in his prime, and police allege that Birdman and Young Thug were plotting to murder Lil Wayne.
All this and more on this week's edition of 140 Bars.&nbsp;

"Classic Man" is yet another radio hit that owes something to DJ Mustard's chunky bass riffs, but unfortunately, it's not Dijon who'll be getting a check out of it. You may recall a similarly-borrowing single from last year, Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," and it turns out, Jidenna's hit is a direct sample of the song.
Azalea confirmed as much on Twitter, revealing that (as is standard procedure) she gets a percentage of the song's earnings.&nbsp;

Iggy Azalea and Nick Young are getting ready to tie the knot, and they're making sure to make it a night to remember. Young has reportedly been joking about having R. Kelly perform his explicit Black Panties ballad, "Marry The Pussy," at the event, but according to Kelly himself, it might actually be happening.

Iggy Azalea first got "Live Love A$AP" tattooed on her fingers when she was rumored to be dating ASAP Rocky in 2011, but soon regretted it after the two parted ways. She's since done her best to cancel out the ink, first crossing out the "A$AP"&nbsp;portion, then removing the exed-out name entirely&nbsp;in December.

Girl power united on Britney Spears new single "Pretty Girls" which features Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The song was pretty horrible, even our audience&nbsp;gave it a "NOT FEELING IT" rating (only thing worse is "MAKE IT STOP"). The song was pushed again with&nbsp;an over-the-top music video that didn't really make any sense.&nbsp;Although Iggy's had a few charting singles herself, this one, not so much.&nbsp;

Thought you were going to see an Iggy Azalea concert this summer? Think again! Unless you live in Ottawa or Quebec (both of which she's hitting in July), you're shit out of luck, now that she's cancelled yet another previously-scheduled date. After nixing&nbsp;her entire "Great Escape" tour last week, last night she tweeted that she will not be performing at Pittsburgh Pridefest this Saturday, June 13th.

With the release of Major Lazer's new album Peace Is The Mission this past week, Diplo decided to do some quick/free promo by hopping on Reddit for an AMA. He was accompanied by Major Lazer counterpart, Walshy Fire.
Unfortunately, he kept a lot of his answers extremely brief, something Reddit users seemed frustrated with. Nonetheless we did learn a thing or two.&nbsp;
The producer said his "diplo x Jauz x Tinashe song is gonna be big," hinting at a collaboration to come with the L.A. DJ and the singer.

The other week appeared to be a bit of a rough patch for Australian-bred artist Iggy Azalea. After a petition demanded the retraction of her Best Rap Song award from the BMAs, news circulated that she had cancelled her impending tour entirely.

It&rsquo;s official. Nick &ldquo;Swaggy P&rdquo; Young and Iggy Azalea are tying the knot.
While out celebrating Nick&rsquo;s 30th birthday on Monday night, the LA Lakers guard decided to pop the big question in front a large crowd of friends. Like a gentlemen, Nick got down on one knee and grabbed a microphone to ask Iggy to marry him, which she of course said "yes". Thanks to Nick&rsquo;s friends on hand, we can check out a picture and clip from the actual proposal (below).
The couple have been dating since November 2013. Congratulations to the happy couple!

It's difficult to argue that Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" was anything but the biggest rap song of 2014 (unless you're arguing that it's not a "rap" song to begin with, but that's a whole other story). The record sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 all summer, and sold more than any other song in the genre. It was then, unsurprising that Iggy and Charli's duet came out on top at the Billboard awards a few weeks back, but a new petition suggests that it should have been disqualified on a technicality.

Iggy Azalea is always a hot topic these days, and her appearance at the Billboard Awards was no exception. A photo of the rapper on the red carpet quickly made the rounds on Twitter, with users suggesting that Iggy had altered her face-- most noticeably her nose and chin.

Since 2007, Forbes has been profiling young rappers who are making major cash money. Each year, the magazine chooses a list of "Cash Princes" who they think could eventually become "Cash Kings", a more exclusive list that includes industry moguls like Diddy, Jay Z, and Dr. Dre.&nbsp;
This year's Cash Princes are: Mike Will Made-It, Migos, Rae Sremmurd, DJ Mustard, Young Thug, Nipsey Hussle, Iggy Azalea, Ty Dolla $ign, Hit-Boy, YG, PartyNextDoor, and Kid Ink.&nbsp;
